The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Morte de D. Ignez de Castro Cantata por Manoel Maria Barbosa du Bucage; A Que Se Ajunta o Episódio, Ao Mesmo Assumpto, do Immortal Luiz de Camões, by Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage and Luís de Camões

Da miseranda Ignez o caso triste,
  Nos tristes sons que a magoa desafina,
  Envia o terno Elmano á terna Ulina,
  Em cujos olhos seu prazer consiste.

Paixaõ que se a sentir naõ lhe resiste
  Nem nos brutos certões Alma ferina,
  Belleza funestou quasi divina,
  De que a memoria em lagrimas existe.

Lê, suspira, meu Bem, vendo hum composto
De raras perfeições aniquilado
Por maõs do Crime, á Natureza opposto.

Tu és cópia de Ignez, encanto amado,
Tu tens seu coraçaõ, tu tens seu rosto…
Ah! Defendaõ-te os Ceos de ter seu Fado.

+CANTATA.+

Longe do caro Esposo Ignez formosa
     Na margem do Mondego,
As amorosas faces aljofrava
     De mavioso pranto.
Os melindrosos, candidos Penhores
     Do Thálamo furtivo,
Os Filhinhos gentís, imagem della,
No regaço da Mãi serenos gozaõ
     O somno da Innocencia.
Côro subtil de alígeros Favónios,
     Que os ares embrandece,
     Ora enlevado afaga
Com as plumas azues o Par mimoso,
     Ora, sôlto, inquieto
Em léda travessurá, em doce brinco,
     Pela Amante saudosa,
Pelos tenros Meninos se reparte,
E com ténue murmúrio vai prender-se
Das aureas tranças nos anneis brilhantes.
Primavera louçãa, Quadra macia
     Da ternuia, e das flores,
Que á bella Natureza o seio esmaltas,
Que no prazer de Amor ao Mundo apuras
     O prazer da existencia,
     Tu de Ignez lacrimosa
As mágoas naõ distrahes com teus encantos.
Debalde o Rouxinol, cantor de amores,
Nos versos naturaes os sons varía,
O límpido Mondego em vaõ serpêa
C'um benigno susurro, entre boninas
De lustroso matiz, almo perfume;
Em vaõ se doira o Sol de luz mais viva,
Os Ceos de mais pureza em vaõ se adornaõ
     Por divertir-te, ó Castro:
Objectos de alegria Amor enjoaõ
     Se Amor he desgraçado.
A meiga voz dos zephyros, do rio
     Naõ te convida o somno:
     Só de já fatigada
Na luta de amargosos pensamentos,
     Cerras, misera, os olhos;
Maõ naõ ha para ti, para os Amantes
     Somno plácido, e mudo;
Naõ dorme a fantasia, Amor naõ dorme:
Ou gratas illusões, ou negros sonhos
Assomando na idéa, espertaõ, rompem
     O silencio da Morte.
Ah! Que fausta Visaõ de Ignez se apossa!
Que scena, que espectaculo assombroso
A paixaõ lhe afigura aos olhos d'alma!
Em marmóreo salaõ de altas columnas
A Sólio magestoso, e rutilante
Junto ao regio Amador se crê subida;
Graças de neve a púrpura lhe envolve,
Pende augusto Docel do tecto de oiro;
Rico Diadema de radioso esmalte
Lhe cobre as tranças, mais formosas que elle;
Nos luzentes degráos do Throno excelso
Pompósos Cortezãos o orgulho acurvaõ;
A Lisonja sagaz lhe adoça os lábios,
O Monstro da Politica se aterra,
E se Ignez perseguia, Ignez adora.
     Ella escuta os extremos,
Os vivas populares, vê o Amante
Nos olhos estudar-lhe as leis que dicta;
O prazer a transporta, Amor a encanta;
Premios, dádivas mil ao Justo, ao Sábio
     Magnanima confere,
Rainha esquece o que soffreo Vassalla:
De sublimes acções orna a Grandeza,
Felicita os Mortaes, do Sceptro he digna,
Impera em corações… mas Ceos! Qu'estrondo
O sonho encantador lhe desvanece!
     Ignez sobresaltada
Desperta, e de repente aos olhos turvos
Da vistosa illusaõ lhe foge o quadro.
Ministros do Furor, tres vís Algozes,
De buidos punhaes a dextra armada,
Contra a bella Infeliz bramindo avançaõ.
Ella grita, ella treme, ella descóra,
Os Fructos da ternura ao seio aperta,
Invocando a piedade, os Ceos, o Amante;
Mas de marmore aos ais, de bronze ao pranto,
Á suave attracçaõ da formosura,
     Vós, bruto Assassinos,
No peito lhe enterrais os ímpios ferros.
     Cahe nas sombras da Morte
A Victima de Amor, lavada em sangue,
As rosas, os jasmins da face amena
     Para sempre desbotaõ.
Dos olhos se lhe sóme o doce lume,
     E no fatal momento
Balbucia, arquejando: "Esposo, Esposo."
     Os tristes Innocentes
     Á triste Mãi se abraçaõ,
E soltaõ de agonia inutil chôro.
     Ao suspiro exhalado,
Final suspiro da formosa Extincta,
     Os Amores acodem.
Mostra a Próle de Ignez, e a tua, ó Venus,
Igual consternaçaõ, e igual belleza:
Huns dos outros os candidos Meninos
     Só nas azas differem,
(Que jazem pelo campo em mil pedaços
Carcazes de marfim, virotes de oiro)
Súbito voaõ dois do Côro alado:
Este, raivoso, a demandar vingança
     No Tribunal de Jóve,
Aquelle a conduzir o infausto annuncio
     Ao descuidado Amante.
Nas cem tubas da Fama o graõ desastre
     Irá pelo Universo:
Haõ de chorar-te, Ignez, na Hircania os Tigres,
No torrado Certaõ da Libya féra
As Sérpes, os Leões haõ de chorar-te.
Do Mondego, que attonito recua,
Do sentido Mondego as alvas Filhas
     Em tropel doloroso
Das urnas de crystal eis vem surgindo,
Eis, attentas no horror do caso infando,
Terriveis maldições dos lábios vibraõ
Aos Monstros infernaes, que vaõ fugindo.
Já crôaõ de cipreste a Malfadada,
E, arrepejando as nítidas madeixas,
Lhe urdem saudosas, lúgubres endeixas.
     Tu, Eco, as decoraste,
E, cortadas dos ais, assim resoaõ
Nos côncavos penedos, que magoaõ:

FIM DA CANTATA.

EPISÓDIO DO GRANDE

LUIZ DE CAMÕES.

Á MORTE DE

+D. IGNEZ DE CASTRO.+

+CXVIII.+ [1]

. . . . . . . . . .
O caso triste, e digno de memoria,
Que do sepulchro os hom[~e]es desenterra,
Aconteceo da misera, e mesquinha,
Que despois de ser morta foi Rainha.

[1] N. B. Os números das Oitavas saõ relativos ao 3.^o Canto, de que saõ extrahidas, &c.

+CXIX.+

Tu só, tu puro Amor, com força crua,
Que os corações humanos tanto obriga,
Déste causa á molesta morte sua,
Como se fora perfida inimiga.
Se dizem, fero Amor, que a sede tua,
Nem com lagrimas tristes se mitiga,
He porque queres aspero, e tyrano,
Tuas aras banhar em sangue humano.

+CXX.+

Estavas, linda Ignez, posta em socego,
De teus annos colhendo doce fruto,
Naquelle engano da alma, lédo, e cego,
Que a fortuna naõ deixa durar muito;
Nos saudosos campos do Mondego,
De teus formosos olhos nunca enxuto,
Aos montes ensinando, e ás hervinhas,
O nome que no peito escripto tinhas.

+CXXI.+

Do teu Principe alli te respondiam
As lembranças que na alma lhe moravam;
Que sempre ante seus olhos te traziam,
Quando dos teus formosos se apartavam;
De noite em doces sonhos que mentiam,
De dia em pensamentos que voavam;
E quanto em fim cuidava, e quanto via,
Eram tudo memorias de alegria.

+CXXII.+

De outras bellas Senhoras, e Princezas,
Os desejados thalamos engeita;
Que tudo em fim, tu puro Amor, desprezas,
Quando hum gesto suave te sujeita.
Vendo estas namoradas estranhezas
O velho pai sisudo, que respeita
O murmurar do povo, e a phantasia
Do filho, que casar-se naõ queria:

+CXXIII.+

Tirar Ignez ao Mundo determina,
Por lhe tirar o filho que tem preso;
Crendo co'o sangue só da morte indina,
Matar do firme amor o fogo acceso.
Qual furor consentio, que a espada fina,
Que pôde sustentar o grande peso
Do Furor Mauro, fosse alevantada
Contra huma fraca dama delicada!

+CXXIIII.+

Traziam-na os horrificos algozes
Ante o Rei, já movido a piedade,
Mas o povo com falsas e ferozes
Razões á morte crua o persuade.
Ella com tristes e piedosas vozes,
Sahidas só da mágoa, e saudade
Do seu Principe, e filhos, que deixava,
Que mais que a propria morte a magoava:

+CXXV.+

Para o Ceo crystallino alevantado
Com lagrimas os olhos piedosos;
Os olhos, porque as mãos lhe estava atando
Hum dos duros ministros rigorosos:
E despois nos meninos attentando,
Que taõ queridos tinha, e taõ mimosos,
Cuja orphandade como mãi temia,
Para o avô cruel assi dizia:

+CXXVI.+

Se já nas brutas feras, cuja mente
Natura fez cruel de nascimento;
E nas aves agrestes, que sómente
Nas rapinas aerias tem o intento;
Com pequenas crianças vio a gente,
Terem taõ piedoso sentimento,
Como co'a mãi de Nino já mostráram,
E co'os irmãos que Roma edificáram:

+CXXVII.+

Ó tu, que t[~e]es de humano o gesto, e o peito,
(Se de humano he matar h[~u]a donzella
Fraca, e sem força, só por ter sujeito
O coraçaõ a quem soube vencella)
A estas criancinhas tem respeito,
Pois o naõ t[~e]es á morte escura della:
Mova-te a piedade sua, e minha,
Pois te naõ move a culpa que naõ tinha.

+CXXVIII.+

E se vencendo a Maura resistencia
A morte sabes dar com fogo, e ferro;
Sabe tambem dar vida com clemencia
A quem para perdê-la naõ fez erro.
Mas se to assi merece esta innocencia,
Põe-me em perpétuo e misero desterro,
Na Scythia fria, ou lá na Libya ardente,
Onde em lagrimas viva eternamente.

+CXXIX.+

Põe-me onde se use toda a feridade;
Entre leões, e tigres; e verei
Se nelles achar posso a piedade
Que entre peitos humaos naõ achei.
Alli co'o amor intrinseco, e vontade,
Naquelle por quem mouro, criarei
Estas reliquias suas que aqui viste,
Que refrigerio sejam da mãi triste.

+CXXX.+

Queria perdoar-lhe o Rei benino,
Movido das palavras que o magôam;
Mas o pertinaz povo, e seu destino,
Que desta sorte o quiz, lhe naõ perdôam.
Arrancam das espadas de aço fino,
Os que por bom tal feito alli pregôam.
Contra h[~u]a dama, ó peitos carniceiros,
Ferozes vos mostrais, e Cavalleiros?

+CXXXI.+

Qual contra a linda moça Policena,
Consolaçaõ extrema da mãi velha,
Porque á sombra de Achilles a condena,
Co'o ferro o duro Pyrrho se aparelha:
Mas ella os olhos, com que o ar serena,
(Bem como paciente e mansa ovelha)
Na misera mãi postos, que endoudece,
Ao duro sacrificio se offerece:

+CXXXII.+

Taes contra Ignez os brutos matadores,
No colo de alabastro, que sostinha
As obras com que amor matou de amores
Áquelle que despois a fez Rainha,
As espadas banhando, e as brancas flores,
Que ella dos olhos seus regadas tinha,
Se encarniçavam férvidos, e irosos,
No futuro castigo naõ cuidosos.

+CXXXIII.+

Bem puderas, ó Sol, da vista destes,
Teus raios apartar aquelle dia,
Como da seva mesa de Thyestes,
Quando os filhos por maõ de Atreo comia.
Vós, ó concavos valles, que pudestes
A voz extrema ouvir da boca fria,
O nome do seu Pedro que lhe ouvistes,
Por muito grande espaço repetistes.

+CXXXIIII.+

Assi como a bonina, que cortada
Antes do tempo foi, candida, e bella,
Sendo das mãos lascivas maltratada,
Da menina que a trouxe na capella,
O cheiro traz perdido, e a côr murchada;
Tal está morta a pallida donzella,
Seccas do rosto as rosas, e perdida
A branca e viva côr, co'a doce vida.

+CXXXV.+

As filhas do Mondego a morte escura
Longo tempo chorando memoráram;
E, por memoria eterna, em fonte pura
As lagrimas choradas transformáram:
O nome lhe pozeram, que ainda dura,
Dos amores de Ignez, que alli passáram.
Vede que fresca fonte rega as flores,
Que lagrimas saõ agua, e o nome amores.

+CXXXVI.+

Naõ correo muito tempo que a vingança
Naõ visse Pedro das mortaes feridas;
Que em tomando de Reino a governança,
A tomou dos fugidos homicidas:
De outro Pedro cruissimo os alcança;
Que ambos imigos das humanas vidas,
O concerto fizeram duro, e injusto,
Que com Lepido, e Antonio fez Augusto.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
